Chapter 27 - Fresh meat
During the rest of the squad before clearing the city, Brandon went to the level up menu.
After reviewing all the skills again, he decided to raise his intelligence to 9, he only had 1 level left to the maximum, taking into account that for clearing the city, he would receive several levels, the maximum intelligence is not so far.
Of course, Brandon could have added points to Agility or Perception first, as they are in battle, but thinking quickly during a fight is also very helpful. Therefore, once again confirming his decision, Brandon left the level up menu and opened his stats.

For the entire time after birth, Brandon did not stop training, thanks to this, his strength and agility increased by 1.
Removing the system screen, Brandon scanned the area once more, then addressed the squad.
- Okay, listen closely, our first destination will be Medford Hospital. As everyone remembers from the briefing, this place is full of mutants, these creatures are very reckless and can often run to your butt hoping to bite off a piece of meat, but in addition to this there are also mutant kamikaze, be very careful with them if you hear the sound of an activated explosives, immediately step back and wait for the enemy or explosion.
fter briefly explaining the situation, Brandon and the squad approached the hospital, where metal barricades and three mutants with clubs can be seen at the entrance.
Hiding behind the cars, Brandon ordered a woman from the squad to run forward, attracting the mutants, and then luring them here, leading them out into the open.
The woman took a deep breath, and then walked out from behind the cars, approaching the mutants, and then she screamed loudly.
-HEY, green-skinned bastards, why have I never seen women among you, is it because you are fagots? I am wondering how often do you stick your green sausages up to your partners' ass?
The mutants did not quite understand what this piece of meat said, but they still felt that she was somehow insulting them, so they growled angry and quickly ran after her, brandishing their clubs.
-ARGh, food itself came to us, I want to hear your screams when I tear off pieces from you, little man.
Turning back, the woman began to run very quickly, trying to break away, while the mutants, not paying attention to anything, caught up with her, constantly shouting.
As soon as the last mutant ran behind the line of broken cars, Brandon got up, pulling two [Lucky Five - 4] revolvers from the holster, holding them in two hands.
Naturally, he wanted to kill these mutants beautifully and effectively, inspiring his people to fight, so Brandon turned on V.A.T.S. to slow down time.
When the mutants began to move very slowly, Brandon aimed his left revolver at the head of the last mutant, and with his right revolver, he aimed at the head of the first one, who almost caught up the woman.
When time started to tick off, Brandon pulled the trigger, firing two loud shots.
* BANG * * BANG *
Unexpectedly for the second mutant, the head of his comrade in front of him turned to pieces, splattering his face with blood, when he turned around, his gaze was covered by two muzzles of a pistol.
* BANG * * BANG *
The second mutant dropped dead.
Brandon blew on the muzzle to make it more cool, then played the pistols in his hands and shoved them back into the holster.
His entire detachment was very surprised that Brandon was such a capable shooter, even Arthur could not hide his surprise, because in the White Stone City, everyone believed that the younger brother only knew how to drip well in pieces of iron and command.
Satisfied with the reaction of others, Brandon said.
-As you can see, mutants are also mortal, so you shouldn't be afraid of them, unlike us, they are incredibly stupid, so be careful and everyone will be safe. Now stop sitting, the whole city is waiting for us.
When the detachment approached the entrance to the hospital, a very disgusting sight appeared in front of everyone.
Large mesh bags filled with meat, intestines, organs and various parts of the body were merry in front of the entrance.
Most of his squad vomited on the spot, only a few veterans like Arthur and Brandon remained normal. Arthur was really surprised by Brandon's resilience, because he thought that he was only a 17 year old kid who did not see the world, how wrong he is.
At this time Brandon spoke.
-As you can see, these mutants should not be pitied at all, most of them have no intelligence, so do not even think when you kill them, they are already animals. Of course, there are smart mutants, but not in this case. Let me remind you that if you don't want to be in this bag, be careful and watch your surroundings.
When the men in his squad had cleared their stomachs, Brandon assigned 5 regular soldiers and 3 snipers to guard the entrance so that they would not be approached from behind.
After that, he led the remaining inside the hospital.
Inside, they saw a broken and rusted three-story atrium.
A pile of garbage was scattered around, and with it pieces of human and not only meat.
On the first floor there were 5 mutants, on the second floor there were 4, on the third floor there were 2 more.
Until they spotted their squad. Brandon ordered everyone to aim at the mutants in order to try to kill everyone in one salvo.
Gripping his assault rifle tighter, Brandon gave the order to fire, while he himself began firing at the mutants on the second floor.
At this time, 8 people on the way out heard the ringing sounds of shooting coming from the hospital. The heavily armored commander holding his assault rifle sighed and spoke.
-It's begun!
